why do people keep asking for this

because its a great idea

Why would you be against a feature that expands on the interaction between dust players and EVE players.

This can only be a good thing as it adds value to Dust mercs and allows for more co operation between Mercs and capsuleers.

This may be the best idea yet.

Since EVE players can drop orbital strikes on dust players why not allow Dust players to Board EVE ships and kill the captain?

Eve players could put out contracts for Dust pirates To Board and kill Other EVE Ships or just take them hostage for ransom.

Seems like an awesome way to further the interactions between games.

This would also make Dust players even more valuable and versatile.

no, it isn't, would you like to be in a fight, then a mesage says: "your ship is being boarded, prepare for a 20 mins match between ppl who don't give a **** about your ship, get a tea or something while waiting or eject and lose the ship for good"

POS boarding on the other hand, seems like a good adea.

Uhh, I'm gonna copy/paste my reply to a similar thread.......

The only kind of ship boarding that's possible is mcc boarding in the style of bf2142, there are ex dice at ccp so maybe that will happen at some point, but as far as eve ship boarding goes.........forGET it! Not gonna happen......ev-er. like someone else posted on this thread....they would have to create full maps for the ships interior, x that buy the amount of ships IN new eden.....on top of all the data for the planetary maps.............toooooooo much data. Have you ANY idea of the size of some of the eve ships when scaled to a human/merc?
Also, eve and dust run on completely different graphics engines, in order to render eve ships for dusters then dust has to be able to use both graphics engines and vice versa. Stop requesting something that will NEVERRRRRRRRRR happen

Sounds like the same old forums a great idea shot down by people who cant seem to HTFU.

Seems like the forum is full of nothing but trolls.

So we're trolls for answering your thread and saying it as it is?? Well, don't listen to logic then.....no skin off my nose, I won't lose sleep over it.

Just trying the old EVE player approach

Hows it taste?

you really like pirates and bears

What if mercs could kill people with bounties on them if they are in the stations, making it so bounties could mean insta death or death in a fight with capsulers

Finally some discussion. I think bounties would be awesome and kinda what i was going for.

You could put a bounty on a ship captain and Dust mercs could board his ship and kill him or accept a bigger payment from the marked captain to spare him.

the idea is legit just too many nay sayers on this forum.

if it was up to the nay sayers then we would be thrown stones at each other in DUST 515...come to think about they would say stones were over powered

This +1

You pretzelboys. If you ever managed to somehow penetrate the defenses of a suitably equipped Eve ship and manage to gain access to it (which seems kind of farfetched to me), and killed the captain after dealing with the ships internal defenses, you would live about 5 seconds before exploding in a beautiful fireball.
What do you really think you would do if you took over a ship? Raid the liquor closet and throw a party? No, the ship would turn red to all other pilots occupying the system. While you are bustin out the champagne, the ship is sitting motionless in space as every other ship in the system warps to it, locks and fires a plethora of armaments at it that obliterate it almost instantly.
If you have some silly notion that once you took over the ship, you could fly it; well that caused uncontrollable laughing fits for me. The only way you are going to get to fly an Eve ship is to play Eve.
This thread is just silly. It's a nice daydream for Dust players; especially for those that have never played Eve but, it's not gonna happen.

Holding a ship for ransom. ROFL! The systems local populace might let you live for a few minutes just for the amusement of hearing you make your demands before they simply destroy the ship and all of the naive Dust players in it.
